摘要
Numbers of interleukin-12 (IL-12)-producing cells were quantitated in the peripheral blood of healthy donors and tuberculosis patients by the ELISPOT assay. We observed that (i) stimulation with mycobacteria increases numbers of IL-12 producers from healthy donors and (ii) tuberculosis patients have larger numbers of IL-12 producers than healthy donors. Our data emphasize the importance of IL-12 in immunity to tuberculosis.
